  2. Chapter 1 In the beginning of this chapter Billy and Bruce are looking for owls nests, so they can get some owls eggs because they want a pet owl. They don’t find any, but they do find a crows nest and Bruce climbs the tree to get the eggs. When he climbed and got the eggs, he had to put them in his mouth to carry them down. Bruce slipped and fell, smashing the eggs. They saw a Great horned owl but no nest. Soon after that, Billy found a owl nest. They decided to come back the next day.

On a Sunday afternoon he met Bruce and Mr. Miller at Mr. Miller’s house. Mr. Miller climbs up and a owl takes his hat.Mr.Miller built a blind, which is a tent in a tree, with a camera. The owl wrecks the blind.Mr.Miller says that there are three baby owls in the nest.

Bruce says he could get his dad to shoot the old owl, but Billy says that that would not be fair.One night there is a really big storm called a Chinook and Billy hopes that the owls are ok.In the morning they find that the nest is blown out of the tree, and two dead baby owls are on the ground. Then they find a 3rd baby owl that is still alive.

The owl bit mutt’s nose. Billy names the owl Wol.

Weeps just sat on the lawn and whimpered until Billy picked him up. Weeps likes to eat anything.
